Narrative
Per George Waters, these were given to him by Chris Carley and might have come from Jim Adams/U.S. Botanic Garden before that. The cultivar name is slightly uncertain, and no one remembers what name they were brought in with, but the plants best resemble 'Dr Moy' in terms of moderate variegation and high vigor, as opposed to its more variegated, less vigorous sports ('Dr Moy Improved', 'Verity', 'Tahitian Flame', 'Vanilla Ice').
